Here is an article, thanks to Melissa for finding it. It mentions the head-injury that Pat gave Lacey during the ShockHound performance. If you haven’t seen it, there is a video player on the page the interview is on; just wait until the end. Along with somethings about Memento Mori and other details.

It took Texas rockers Flyleaf four long years to release the follow-up to their mega-successful self-titled debut. But with their new Memento Mori debuting at number eight on the Billboard 200, it’s pretty clear they haven’t lost any steam in the interim. That’s probably because they’ve never really slowed down — the Texas quintet have spent the bulk of their “off time” between albums on a relentless touring schedule, including dates with the likes of Korn, Stone Sour, Disturbed, and the Deftones.
    Though they’ve never made a secret of their faith, the band has successfully avoided becoming pigeonholed as a “Christian band.” Part of this certainly has to do with their choice of “secular,” tourmates; but the powerful rock sound of their hits “I’m So Sick” and “All Around Me” — not to mention frontwoman Lacey Mosley’s impressive vocal chops — have also elevated their material far above and beyond Christian radio’s generic Jesus-song fodder.
   Mosley and bassist Pat Seals recently sat down with ShockHound to recount their warzone adventures, tell us why Memento Mori feels more personal than their first record, and explain why they believe it’s important to live with an awareness of death.
    They also treated us to a raucous Shock Session, which ended in Mosley suffering a startling hit to the head in the last seconds of their final song, courtesy of Seal’s bass. But she’s doing okay — and apparently, this is not the first time it’s happened. -Interview Here.

Yayy! Enjoy! =D

Below is an intereview with Lacey. It’s mainly about her life. I thought it was interesting. It says it was published in July. But this is the first time I’ve seen it.

You had a rough childhood, didn’t you?

I lived with my mom, a single mom with six kids. We grew up kinda poor. I got picked on a lot at school. My family always taught me about the Lord, but I dealt with serious depression that started when I was 10. I began questioning how a loving God can let bad things happen the way they do, because I had a 3-year-old cousin who was murdered. That was the year I decided I just didn’t believe anymore.

How did that influence your teen years?

I started going down a really negative path and tended to relate to dark things more. I got deeper into destructive behavior. When I was 16 I felt like I hit a wall and everything was crashing down around me. I was fighting with my mom every day, and I moved to live with my grandparents in Mississippi. I didn’t care about anything. I was a bad kid. I just laughed at everything and everybody and was really hateful. -Source

Flyleaf Guitarist Inspired by Hugo, Eldredge Books

An avid reader, Flyleaf guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya was so moved by Victor Hugo’s ‘Les Miserables’ and John Eldredge’s ‘Wild at Heart’ that he wrote a song about them. The result is ‘Set Apart This Dream,’ which appears on ‘Memento Mori,’ the band’s sophomore effort that debuted at 8 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

“I’d say six years ago, I read ‘Wild at Heart’ by John Eldredge, and then like a couple years after that I read ‘Les Miz’ by Victor Hugo,” Bhattacharya told Noisecreep via telephone from New York City. “I think those books could have gone together. It’s about men stepping up and women feeling like … I don’t know. It was really amazing about how those books came together. It really spoke to me.” -Read More

 

Yay, Flyleaf! That’s pretty awesome for the first week. Thank you, Dirick, for the picture!

Flyleaf Has Much Love for Girls, Guys and God

“Where are all the girls in this place?” Flyleaf vocalist Lacey Mosely asked at a recent tour stop in Pittsburgh. “Let me hear your voices.” You can guess what the response sounded like. The band then tore into ‘Set Apart This Dream,’ a song about a little girl’s dreams of a better life in the hereafter.

Not one to leave anyone out, the diminutive Mosley (she clocks in under five feet tall) asked before playing new song ‘Circle’: “Where are the all the guys here? I want you to know that I believe in you.” -Read More

Here is an interview with Jared:

Q: Where do you see the future of music heading and where do you see yourself in that picture?

Jared: Its hard to say everyone brings new elements to the music each time we write so it will always be changing. I see myself in Flyleaf for the long haul I guess if it ended tomorrow I would go to culinary school. -Full Interview

Also, this is an inteview with Lacey.

What was the writing process like for Memento Mori?
Sameer [Bhattacharya, guitar], Pat [Seals, bass] and I just wanted to write in response to life. We’ve been writing songs for this record since before the first record came out. We have a new song at least every couple of months, but it’s kind of been a long process. Between the three of us, and since we’ve been on tour all these years, we usually pick a song to play onstage during soundcheck. We play it in the venue and kind of figure out how we want to play it. It’s definitely different from the way we wrote our first record because we weren’t on tour; we were just in James’ [Culpepper, drums] garage and had other jobs and stuff. So this is a little more concentrated, I think. That made a difference in the process. “Tiny Heart” was written before the first record, and “In The Dark” was written right at the end. It’s definitely structured over a period of time. At the last minute, though, we were still writing. -Full

Here are some articles I found. If you are sick of me posting, just let me know! Haha.

Pat Seals of Flyleaf Shares His Top Ten Horror Films

As we’ve mentioned previously, November 10th is the release date of the band Flyleaf’s new CD, entitled Memento Mori, and to help celebrate the occasion, their bass player, Pat Seals, has taken time out of his hectic schedule to prepare for Dread Central readers a list of his Top Ten favorite horror films. -List of Films

‘Nother one!

Flyleaf hopes to leave musical ‘Memento’ in Pittsburgh

Despite the fact that its first, self-titled album went platinum, selling more than 1 million copies in the United States, its goal remains fairly humble.
“Flyleaf’s mission is definitely to use our music and personas/careers as a platform to convey what has changed our lives,” Seals wrote in an e-mail interview.

“Our band would not exist today the way it does without the many people from home who believed in/helped us,” Seals wrote. “We had a really wonderful base of support from our friends and families, with [guitar player Jared Hartman’s] parents … letting us use both of their vehicles to get ourselves and equipment to shows for just about two years. My folks allowed me to drop out of college and crash at home while Flyleaf was betwixt showcases and recordings. -More.

RADIO APPEARANCE!

FLYLEAF will guest on the nationally syndicated radio show “Rockline” with host Bob Coburn on Monday, November 2 at 8:30 p.m. PT / 11:30 p.m. ET. Fans are encouraged to speak with FLYLEAF by calling 1-800-344-ROCK (7625). More Info.

There is a new webisode that talks about Pat’s Artwork. Be sure you check it out!

Another thing is that there is a new article/interview where Lacey talked about Memento Mori, their success, what has changed them, etc..

Virtue is a quality so often lost on rock musicians, don’t you think?  The news-makers of rock embody excessiveness and hedonism on a scale that most of us can barely comprehend.  Their sexual exploits and destructive behavior fuel a scandal-hungry public, voraciously seeking to devour the next morsel of surfeit overindulgence.

Gee, is this a setup for an exception to the rule or what?!

The answer is yes, and the exception is Lacey Mosley.  Puritanical?  No.  Rock Goddess?  Well, she’s getting there, even if she is reluctant to do so.  As the front-woman for Flyleaf, a hard-rocking quartet personifying pseudo-Christian thematicism, she has come to define the rock front-person (politically correct much?) as more of a messenger of hope than a transmitter of introspective woe.

This became perfectly clear during an phone interview with Lacey who, with Flyleaf, is set to make a big second impression with their sophomore effort, Momento Mori. -Source/Rest of the Interview.

[Yes, I understand they spelled 'Memento' incorrectly, and also still call her Mosley.]

Sameer also did a telephone interview:

Patience must be a virtue for Flyleaf guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya as he awaits the release of the band’s new album “Memento Mori.”

“I have never been so excited for anything we have done as a band … than for this record ‘Memento Mori;’ I really feel like this record is really significant in our life,” Bhattacharya said in a recent telephone interview. -Continue

 

Below is an article that is very recent. Lacey talks about going home after touring and such. Click here to view the full article.

You can miss a lot when you’re on tour for nearly seven years.

For Lacey Mosley, the lead singer of Flyleaf, going on tour meant not being able to watch her younger sister, who was 10 when Lacey left, grow up.

With the impending release of Memento Mori, Flyleaf’s long-awaited second album, she and guitarist Jared Hartmann opened up to MTV News about life away from the tour bus and the meaning behind their new music.

Mosley, who is from Arlington, Texas, said it was weird coming back home after being on tour for so long because the small town she grew up in got so much bigger. While most of us would love a seven-month vacation — especially after what seemed like seven straight years of working — Mosley couldn’t stay away too long. Even during her break she said she and the band continued to work on the album, and that staying at home with nothing to do made her feel restless at times.

Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm Wants People to Know That Life Has a Purpose

“I see my sister in so many faces of so much of our audience,” she continued. “I have two younger brothers as well. I want so much to be able to convince them or tell them that their lives are important. ‘You’re meant to be here. There’s a purpose that only you can fulfill.’ So many times, at that age, they feel like they’re in the way. They get in some kind of trouble or humiliated somehow and they feel that they can’t stand up afterward. Or they get hurt somehow with a relationship. They feel they can’t keep going because it’s going to last forever.”

For Sturm, this just isn’t the way it’s meant to be. And she wants to make that known. “I just want to say, ‘There’s more to your life than a couple years. There’s more to come. You can be stronger afterward.’ I want them to hear that, because I think that so many amazing people get squashed because of the circumstances in life. They could accomplish so many great things to make the world a better place but they don’t get to because no one ever encouraged them.”

With the title, ‘Memento Mori,’ Flyleaf took that feeling a step further so that it now encompasses meaning for the rest of the band as well. Essentially, it means to make the most of the time we’ve all been given. The album hits stores Oct. 27.
